My TLB taskbar (as of today)

   

The image shows TLB on a vertically arrayed, hidden Taskbar, running on a 32-inch monitor in landscape mode.

From Windows 98 to '10' the Taskbar on all my PCs has been set this way. This TLB is a direct descendant and ongoing evolution of all my TLBs since 'Vista'.

Since 'Visita' I run dual monitors, with the secondary in Portrait mode and managed by 'DisplayFusion'. DF does not support TLB, but provides basic shortcut/icon management for its Taskbar.

Obviously, my laptops do NOT have TLBs with 70+  Shortcuts / Menus. In fact, on my current 15.6-inch display laptop, TLB is reduced to 5-columns x 4-rows + Drive & Volume controls.


   

There are 13 Menus in the TLB configuration shown here, many with sub-menus. I am attaching an image for the Menu 'Windows System + Browsers + Mouse'. It looks like overkill — perhaps; nevertheless, it is invaluable.

Speaking of 'invaluable', that would be my characterization for TLB's 'Clipboard Manager'.

For the record, I run Open-Shell and have been refining it since its Classic-Shell origin/history long ago.

TLB + C-S  made Windows 8 and 8.1 usable.

The present state of Windows 11 builds of the insider program bode poorly for TLB in its current development. Personally, I very much hope Yuri Kobets will [wish and be able to] adapt it to the forthcoming Windows incarnation.
